The students of the Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology on Tuesday severely beat two Bangladesh Chhatra League activists allegedly for snatching mobiles.
The injured, Nabil, a third year civil engineering student and also the joint secretary of BCL Selim Hall unit, and Johnny, a third year electric and electronics engineering student, were admitted to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital.
Students at RUET Tin Shed Hall said that Nabil and Johnny came to their hall at about 2:00am Tuesday and, entering Room Number 17, snatched two mobiles from Sifat, a second year computer science student, at gunpoint.
Sifat told New Age that they also threatened him with dire consequences if he disclosed the matter.
However, some time later when the students of the hall sensed the incident they swooped on the two.
Nabil and Johnny were rescued by the police, on information, and sent to hospital.
The RUET students also alleged that Nabil and Johnny, along with some other BCL activists, had long been extorting money and mobile phones from the students whom they found vulnerable.
The victims, under threat from the extortionists, had kept mum.
A resident of RUET Selim Hall, preferring anonymity, said that two weeks ago Nabil took away Tk 2,000 from him too.
Harun-or-Rashid, convener of BCL RUET unit, while admitting Nabil as their member, denied any organisational link with Johnny.
'Actions will be taken if the allegations against them are proved,' he added.
The RUET director of students welfare, Mohammad Shamimur Rahman, also pledged stern actions if the probe, undertaken by the university, proved the allegations against them.
Motihar police officer-in-charge Akbar Ali told New Age that they would take step about Nabil and Johnny after discussing with the RUET authorities.
